2 upcoming SaaS events that matter this month

Google and OpenAI are two big names in AI. Google wanted to lead the chatbot race but OpenAI zoomed ahead!
🚨Breaking News:
Google spent two years playing AI catch-up after OpenAI’s ChatGPT boom—resulting in layoffs, stress, and fewer safety guardrails.
⚡Wire Simplified –
Google had the AI tools first but didn’t launch them fast enough.
OpenAI’s ChatGPT took the world by storm in late 2022.
Google went into panic mode—more launches, less sleep, fewer rules.
Many employees were laid off or moved to speed up progress.
Gemini is Google’s answer to ChatGPT, but it came after the hype.
✔️Straight to the Point –
Google may have built the tech first but missed the moment. Now it’s moving fast—even if it breaks a few things.
🎤 Who do you think is leading the AI race right now? |

23andMe, a company that tests your DNA, just filed for bankruptcy—leaving your genetic secrets in limbo. Yikes!
🚨Breaking News:
With 23andMe’s future uncertain, users are rushing to delete their sensitive DNA data from the platform—and you should too.
⚡Wire Simplified –
23andMe filed for bankruptcy, raising fears about customer DNA data.
Users can still delete their genetic and sample data.
Log into your account → Settings → Delete Data (super simple).
You can also stop your data from being used in future research.
Already shared data in past research is not affected.
✔️Straight to the Point –
23andMe’s collapse is a privacy wake-up call—delete your data now or risk your DNA becoming someone else’s business deal.

An AI company with a similar "revenue" trajectory likes to include early equity raised as part of their ARR calculation.
Raised ~$20M so far & is quite literally everywhere.
I'm pretty sure none of its investors are aware of this. Good litmus on who is doing the most basic DD.

The Pentagon's ChatGPT history leaked:
"Hey ChatGPT, write a step-by-step plan to bomb yemen. Please, draw pictures. And make it, like, super easy to understand—like, kindergarten-level. Oh, and keep it under 500 words."
